2 more great card ideas with the Basic Border dies!


Before you get to the projects today I want to let everyone know about the current shipping delays. Stampin' Up! had their highest sales day ever on April 4th – by almost 20 times the average!  Wow!  They are quite behind and have added extra staff and longer hours to get caught up.  So if you're wondering where your order is, it's coming….it will just be about 8-10 days longer than normal.

This week I'm sharing our April card swaps from my Flowerbug's team. It's so fun to see what they make; everyone has their own unique style.  I LOVE swapping with them!  

Annette chose the Beside Me stamp set for her card. She is a master at coloring and sponging.  

Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Basic White & Black. The Blueberry Bushel layer is textured with the Timeworn Type folder; the greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

She cut two curves for her card; one with the Basic White layer and another with a Black layer.  She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Next is a neat card made by Karen who also used the Basic Border dies seen here.  

She used the die to cut off the edge of her card and then used that second piece to create a 'vertical window' for her By the Bay specialty designer paper. This pretty paper is discounted on the Last Chance List.  See it here. 

Her greeting and die-cut layers are from the Something Fancy bundle in the Spring catalog.  It will be in the new Annual catalog but no longer as a bundle at 10% off. 

See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  Luckily they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

  • Butterfly Bouquet & the Origami Window Fold


    Here's another favorite project I've made with the new Butterfly Bouquet products.  Are you a fan of butterflies?

    I call this unique fold the Origami Window.  It's done by folding a 4 X 4" piece of designer paper a few times.  See details here or watch my video here. 

    The colors are Highland Heather and Pool Party. See the neat texture on the purple CS strip?  That's one of the dies in the Butterfly Wings dies!  You can see them here: 

    That pretty texture on the inside White square is from the Meadow Moments pair of embossing folders seen here.  They fit in your die-cutting machine but they were made narrow enough to fit in the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine too!

  • The NEW Butterfly Bouquet bundle is here!!


    Stampin' Up! is releasing one of the upcoming Annual Catalog bundles early!  Plus they added on two exclusive papers along with it!  But these papers are only available through May 3rd, while supplies last! Click here to see them online. 

    I joined an online swap and created these pretty cards: 

    The bundle consists of 1 large butterfly stamp and 12 coordinating dies.  There is a big pack of 6 X 6" Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper and also new Natural Touch specialty paper; 2 sheets of wood grain 12" X 12" paper. Download the Butterfly Bouquet flyer

    If you plan to get the Butterfly Bouquet bundle or Designer Paper I have an extra perk for you!  All online orders in March receive a FREE 15 project PDF full of ideas for you!  See details below! 

    Which card do you prefer?  Mint Macaron or Calypso Coral?  I sure like the soft papers in this Designer Paper!

    Here's the flyer so you can see the details for each of these new products.  It's important to note that the two papers shown are only available from now through May 3rd while supplies last.  You can order tomorrow, March 2nd. 

    Look at the photo below; see how this sheet of paper coordinates with the large multiple butterfly die? It might be hard to tell but the die is laying on the paper.  So cool!  

    I used three of these butterflies on my cards; the green, blue and yellow!  Such happy spring-like colors!

    Measurements are:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Designer Paper 2" X 5 1/2"
    • Natural Touch paper 2" X 4"
    • Black 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", plus 1/4" and 1/3" strips and die-cut butterfly
    • White scrap for Painted Poppies die-cut

    On the card below I did color parts of the yellow butterfly with my Calypso Coral Blends marker.

  • Stunning Sand & Sea cards great tips in the video


    We made this gorgeous card at my February card clubs.  Everyone was amazed at how beautiful this die-cut is once it's stamped and textured with the Seashells embossing folder.
